...I am called Lee.
...I am not an alcoholic.
However, alcohol has been the reason I haven't been able to stay in shape. I'm not a big eater. I struggle to reach my calorie goals most days. My problem has always been weekends with friends. I can finish work at 9pm on a Friday and be drinking by 9.30...Back on the pop Saturday night...and out by opening time on Sunday, to cure my hangover! It's just not good.
However, today is my birthday! (yay!) I am turning 26. My first child is due in 8 days. So...I can't drink at the moment anyway, in case I have to drive my girl to the hospital....And I just think that, with a child coming a long, It's time to cut right down on the alcohol and get in shape. I'm highly motivated.
Wish me luck!!
And a Good morning/evening to all...wherever you are!

Good luck! Alcohol is definitely, unfortunately, kryptonite to weight loss. If you need any support, feel free to add/message : )0

Happy birthday! Same here on trying to drink less - It def. makes you lose motivation and sets you back on your goals. I am trying to find a good balance between being the healthiest I can be and still having fun

happy birthday & congrats - by the time bubs is here you probably won't want to drink because having a hangover dealing with a little 1 can be VERY tiresome.
good luck with it all :flowerforyou:0 -

Happy Bday! I went into labor on my husband's 30th Bday. He was sauced. I drove us to the hospital lol. That was 9 years and 2 days ago :drinker:0 -

Hahaha! Oh my days. He must have sobered up quick when it came to labour though, right? If it had have been a big one, like 30...I probably would have been drinking. 26 doesn't move me as much as being healthy for my child coming along! 0 -

OH! But my favourite is probably, "Pandiculation!" Such a great word.0 -
I hope you can get your crap together for your baby. Seek help if you need it. It's no fun growing up with a dad who drinks his nights and/or weekends away.0

He most certainly did! Good luck to you 0 -
Happy Birthday!! I understand the drinking and staying within calories! I usually drink on the weekends & some weekdays, and end up gaining back my weight I lost for the week:(. I'm trying real hard this weekend to stay strong so I can keep losing!!!
Congratulations on the new baby!!!!0 -

Oh, God! I don't have a problem! I don't drink through the week as I work most evenings. Also, I don't drink because I feel I have to, or anything. I just have a massive, crazy bunch of friends...and we are always together, either at a bar or at someone's place...and in a group we tend to drink. I wouldn't say I have a problem. And I definitely don't need help.
I just feel that, I'd like to be in shape and a bit fitter for my child coming along, is all. Sorry if my post seems misleading.0 -
